Yes they are! I think in the first couple of AFC championships, the veteran leadership (including Manning) weren't ready for the big-time. They got rid of those demons by defeating their nemesis, the Patriots after being down 21-6 at halftime.

Manning and the veteran leadership no longer need to be convinced they've got what it takes; they've already been there, done that. I'm sure the mentality will help the young guys, and I see it all working in their favor.

And that will all help them not a whit as the Jets dominate them like they were a dominatrix and the Colts were Cristiano Ronaldo.

Aww. I'll be rooting for your Saints, no doubt. Before last week's games I put a few bucks on Jets to win the AFC at 7-to-1 and a few bucks on Saints-vs-Jets at 17-to-1. I'm trying to decide how much to hedge those bets now.

Yeah. That was before the last round, but I thought they were still pretty generous. My brother-in-law snapped up a Vegas sportsbook that farked up: right before the playoffs started, they moved the Jets to 50-1 to win the whole damn thing. He put up $20 on that, and will probably hedge it today. I'm considering going balls out and putting some on Saints-over-Jets at 19-2. Not that I think it's the most likely outcome, just that I think it's over-priced (I think 7-1 or 8-1 would be a good price).

I think the real question for the Jets is whether or not Rex Ryan can make it through today without having a heart attack. It's hard to watch their games, the guy makes me so nervous that he might keel over at any time.

I grew up in Indy and New Orleans. Dad works and lives in the French Quarter right now, and Mom works and lives in Indy. Dad was one of those kids selling programs at the first Saints home game (before the Superdome was built.)

/Cool story bro//Dad has a half-n-half jersey thats half Brees and half Manning

If the Saints advance, I would consider getting scalped and go to the game.

I would love to have one of those!Grew up in LA, moved to IN a few years back. Not the biggest NFL fan overall, but I love the Saints and Colts. It's going to be great with the both of them in the Superbowl.
